A soure of sound of frequency 165 Hz generates sound waves which get fully reflected from a wall . A person standing at the wall starts moving away from the wall. The minimum distance of the point from the wall at which the person hears maximum sound is (velcoity of sound = 330 ms^(-1) )

Statement-1 : In the case of a stationary wave, a person hear a loud sound at the nodes as compared to the antinodes Statement-2 : In a stationary wave all the particles of the medium vibrate in phase.

Assertion : In the case of a stationary wave, a person hear a loud sound at the nodes as compared to the particles of the medium vibrate in phases.

Assertion : Velocity of particles, while crossing mean position (in stationary waves) varies from maximum at antinodes to zero at nodes.
